Re: [bitfolk] Downtime required to move customers on faustino to new hardware (Was: Unscheduled power cycle on faustino)

It's going to be a lot of work, and (even worse) will delay putting the new server into production for new customers, but it'll mean the shortest downtime for each of you individually. It's also far safer in terms of risk of data loss, and will eventually leave me with an empty faustino that I can practice the other option (reinstall) on. So, about 24 hours from now I'll start moving you one by one. This will entail a shut down, copy of data and configuration, then start up again on a different server. Time taken will depend on how many files you have (and to some extent how big they are). It could be as short as 15 minutes but in some cases may be closer to an hour. I will open a ticket for you just before I do the work and after I finish it. Because of the number of customers that are to be moved, it will not be possible to guess exactly when the work will be done. I need to do it as quickly as reasonably possible which means starting each move when I can. However, if there are any particular times of day that are bad (or good) for this to be done then by all means drop an email to support(a)bitfolk.com and I will do my best to accommodate your wishes.
